4 Ways You Could Be Dooming Your Metabolism

4 Ways You Could Be Dooming Your Metabolism

I often hear people say “Man, I wish I had a better metabolism and could eat anything I wanted.” It is true, a fast metabolism is something that a lot of us wish for. Luckily, it can be achieved! There are a lot of things you do every day unknowingly that are driving your metabolism down, so it is important to drop these habits if you want to improve your metabolism.

1. Sitting all day: When you sit all day it causes your body to turn off at the metabolic level as your circulation slows. Your fat burning enzymes turn off and your blood sugar is used less. Try getting up and walking ever hour or so to wake your circulation up. I know this can be hard, being in school all day, but walking to class can help wake that circulation up.
2. Not getting enough snooze time: Not getting enough sleep can cause our metabolism to slow down to conserve energy. Sleep deprivation also increases our cortisol levels, which lowers the hormones that are used to metabolize nutrients.
3. Drinking too little H2O: Water isn’t the most fun drink to guzzle (I mean, Dr. Pepper tastes pretty much 10x better), but it is the best thing for you. It can speed your metabolism up almost 30% after you drink some down!
4. Eating at bad times: Your body has a natural rhythm that goes with your sleep and wake cycle, and it has a hard time digesting food at night. People who eat later at night burn less calories than those who eat earlier in the evening, studies prove it! Also, eating light meals during the day and then a big meal at night is not smart.

Staying away from these metabolism-slowing habits helps you kick your calorie-burning power into gear, but you still need to eat healthy and exercise to be as healthy as you can be.

Cookies are my kryptonite. They are so crazy addicting…unfortunately. If you have ever wished cookies were good for you so you could eat a boatload of them, your wish is granted! Here is a recipe for delicious protein cookies.

Ingredients:

- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder

- 1 scoop peanut butter

- 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Add the vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, and chocolate chips into a large mixing bowl. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray and drop 1 ½ tbsp sized drops onto the baking sheet. Spread the cookies out into circles and flatten them, they will not rise once they’re baked. Bake the cookies 7-9 minutes, let cool, then eat up! They’re even a great pre-workout or post-workout snack with their protein punch.

Eat up!

XOXO, Chels
